Product Description

The ISCAR 6003653 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert in the Tang-Grip series, designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the IC20 manufacturer grade and features a 2 mm cutting width with a neutral lead angle and a 7-degree relief angle. The chipbreaker designation is J, suited for a wide range of workpiece materials. This single-end insert is held in place by a clamp-style toolholder and is intended for use by machinists and toolroom professionals in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is rated for universal workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, N, and S. Typical applications include parting off bar stock, grooving for snap rings or O-ring seats, and light profiling work on a variety of metals and non-metals. The Tang-Grip system is a clamping platform that provides rigid insert seating for interrupted cuts and high-feed passes. It is appropriate for both light production runs and precision one-off turning operations.
